• Snatching time...

  There were questions.  Pay attention....

  Comment est-ce qu'on peut tricoter en francais?  Avec le catalogue nouveau de Phildar.  C'est le modele 'Quietude' (cliquez sur 'page suivant'). 

  (translation available on request)

  I managed a third of a sleeve, knits up nice and quickly.  Not sure about the acrylic-ness of the yarn, but it's very sproingy and nice, and makes a change from the Softest Socks in the World™, which are knit from something that claims to be 4 ply cashmere, but is more like 2 ply.  It is very glorious, though, and so so soft.

  I've also cast on the Hanami shawl.  So far, one basket weave repeat, and very nice it is too.  I'm using something or other by Habu.  It's very fluffy.

  Ravelry?  Anyone want to kill me now.  I have an invitation, I have done since early August.  I still have not accepted it.  I think it's sitting in my inbox.  It's probably expired by now.

  Yes.  I am the one knitter in the world who hasn't joined in.  Why not?  I have not got enough time to maintain this blog properly, let alone upload my stash online.  I would far rather knit it than photograph it.  Which make make me some sort of strange weirdo.  However, when I am reduced to displaying socks in the Savile Club, next to my knitting pupil, merely in order to have a photograph of a WIP taken, you know, I think the Time Management thing needs to have its priorities re-addressed.

  

  And now that I've managed to make several changes to various systems at work, and I have run out of excuses for sitting here waiting for processes to run, and really need to go home for Night One of Four spent Guiding this week (Tonight, the Brownie Planning meeting.  On Wednesday, the Jack Petchey Awards.  On Thursday, the Super Secret Surprise Party for Jo, who is no longer Division Commissioner.  On Friday, Brownies and Guides), I must stop and go home.
